"What Evil Lurks" is a rave song written by Liam Howlett and the first EP by the English band The Prodigy. The 12" vinyl record was released in a limited number in February 1991, [cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:kvfexq8kldse |title=What Evil Lurks overview|accessdate=2007-05-28 |author=All Music Guide |work=allmusic.com ] selling around 7000 copies.

The four songs were part of the 10-track demo Howlett sent to XL Recordings when he was attempting to obtain a record deal. The original version of "Everybody in the Place" is featured on the record and is different from the eventual Fairground Version on the single with the same name.

The EP was re-issued in a limited edition on September 27, 2004, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of XL Recordings.
